How to Plant in a Container:
Patriot blueberry plants may be planted in a container. We recommend using a 3 gallon container to provide a nice root structure for the plant while being sturdy enough to withstand winds. We also recommend adding a bit of peat moss to the soil. The plant can last its lifetime in a pot. Be sure not to over water the plant as this can lead to root rot.
